A quick guide to setting up Subversion in Windows and making sure it works from remote locations as well. There are a few other guides out there but they're all out-dated from what I can tell or they're missing the few things that have bit me in the past. There is also a great little project called Svn1Click that will get you setup with Subversion, only problem is that it seems to also be out of date, it installs Subversion 1.4.2 and the current is 1.4.5. So, roll up your sleeves. I guarantee you'll be able to setup svn faster

I've had my Zune for about 6 months now and wanted to revisit my thoughts on it since I first got it.

The interface is great, navigation is fast and easy, the screen is great looking, the matte finish has prevented any scratches and I find I like it's over-all look more each day. The software, ahh, the software. Ever had an itchy shirt tag or a pebble

Just ran into an issue trying to run a simple .NET 2.0 file writing command-line app across a network share. No matter how much beating we couldn't get it to run until we ran across this little batch file in the comments on the .NET Security Blog post, Using CasPol to Fully Trust a Share: call %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol -q -m -ag 1.2 -url %1\* FullTrust -n %1 -d "FullTrust granted to: %1" I dropped the code into a batch file called trustshare.bat and ran it like this: trustshare.bat //machine/sharename Suddenly the three hours of hair pulling finally ended. The batch file
